Input Needed for Commenting Upgrade

About a year ago folks asked for the ability to ‘edit’ their comments after publication–the native wordpress system did not allow for editing. At that time I thought I would go ahead and change the entire commenting system.

Then I found a wordpress ‘add in’ that allowed ‘editing’ of comments (which is set at allowing 5 minutes for edits)–which took care of that immediate issue.

NOW it looks like it is time to upgrade the commenting system to something that allows a more robust search capability–to search by user name–maybe to allow ‘scoring’ of comments–to get notification when someone responds to your comment–etc, etc. There are many, many possibilities in commenting systems.

So what I am asking ALL OF YOU is if there is a commenting system somewhere that maybe you use that you think has lots of great features? If you could let me know the website I could look at it.

If there isn’t one that you are aware of then simply what are some features that you would think would be desirable?

In about a week I will make a decision on a change. I have about 10 options so far–and of course they all sound great, but without seeing a live system who really knows. If I choose the wrong one–oh well we will just move onto a new one.

Please leave some feedback for me – it would be helpful.

  1. Tim-
    Search. Typical for me: I know there was a recent discussion on a particular stock, but I can’t find it using search. A related problem is what ticker format should I search for? Could the search be made smart enough to know that XXX-X is the same as XXX.prX? Sometimes I feel like people make up formats, and there has been plenty of sharing regarding variants at different brokerages. Ay yi yi!

    Any improvement to search will be wonderful.

    1. Private – I have your message from 10/23 on this topic (search) and will be meeting later next week with the tech folks and one of the topics is search improvement. Yes I am pretty certain he posts here.

      1. Apologies, Tim. I don’t remember even commenting about it in October. Sorry to sound like I am harping on this, I just forgot.

    2. Private thanks for the second link. First thing that caught my eye was the post on RWT about a downgrade to neutral
      That pony was in my stable but the owner was nervous about holding a MREIT even if it was a BB. Just not sure what is going on with Residential R.E. these days. First you hear rates are going down and applications are picking up then you start thinking about how does a company borrow at a high rate and loan at lower rates and make money doing it.

  2. 12/11/2024 Time to slick off pages and pages of Sandbox Page and Reader Initiated Alert comments?

    1. Hi Jim–will do some more. I try to do some every so often—there is a fine line between taking off stuff people want to see and leaving too much. Thanks.

    2. Hi Jim–just whacked about 60% off of each of the areas. Hopefully it helps some.
